Handsome Detective
The Part 57
" Erina..wait...!" yelled someone from behind.
Erina turned her head looking for the direction of the source of the voice that called out to her followed by Arvan and Raka.
" Hey... How are you...?"
A handsome man was now standing before Erina with his special smile.
" Samuel...!" peekkik Erina's.
Erina hugged Samuel, her best friend since she was a teenager. He paid no heed to Arvan's sharp gaze that disliked their closeness.
" Eryn, long time no see. Where have you been...?" ask Samuel.
" Mmm. I moved to a college abroad, Sam. I'm sorry I didn't get to tell you that time..."
" It's okay, what's important now that we've met..."
" Where are you going...?" ask Erina.
" It looks like we have the same goal, let's go in.." asked Samuel.
Arvan felt that the man ignored her and deliberately focused on Erina alone.
" Erina, come on in! Are you just gonna stand here...!" said Arvan flat.
" Yes, sis... Sam, let's go in. The plane will be leaving soon..."
" Know this, I better use the private jet earlier." - furious Arvan in heart.
Arvan holds Raka up to the plane to find her seat. A coincidence or indeed a coincidence, Samuel could sit beside Erina. It makes Arvan more inflamed but it is impossible for him to vent his emotions in public places.
" Dear, you accompany Raka here...!" arvan's orders to Erina.
" I'm here, brother... Please, I haven't seen Samuel in a long time." - whine Erina.
Samuel smiled at Erina's rejection. He just kept quiet without any intention of introducing himself.
" Whatever...!" arvan replied annoyed.
Arvan sat down next to Raka without looking back at Erina. Her heart was so sore that her lover would sit for a dozen hours with another man.
" Papa why the hell? Like being angry...?" ask Raka.
" Hmm. no dear, papa is not angry..."
Arvan hugs Raka tightly to ease her emotions.
" I'm like I've seen this guy, but where...?" inner Arvan.
Arvan tries hard to remember the man who was with Erina. He felt he had met the man before, but he did not know when and where he had forgotten.

Without notice, it had been a dozen hours long the plane flew in space splitting the clouds. Now Arvan has set foot on the ground where he was born. Arvan took Raka's hand to the collection point without intending to invite Erina.
After finishing picking up Raka and Erina's suitcase, Arvan immediately searches for William's whereabouts who has been told to pick her up.
" Sister Willy, you're finally here too." said Arvan.
" I'm not too late, am I...?" ask William.
" No, we just arrived..."
" Where is Rissa...?"
" Let it go, later he can go home by himself." said Arvan flat.
The three of them walked towards the parking area as Erina shouted for Arvan.
" Sister Arvan, why am I left behind...?" ask Erina.
" Hurry to get in the car if you don't want to be left...!" snapped Arvan.
" Papa why...? Angry at mom...?" asked Raka in Arvan's arms.
" No, baby, sleep if you're tired. We will be home soon." said Arvan smiling.
Erina who was feeling very tired ignored Arvan's cold attitude towards her. He just wanted to get home and lay down on the bed.
Arvan would rather sit beside William while holding Raka who was almost asleep than with Erina who ignored him.
On the way home, there was no talk at all. Arvan closed his eyes pretending to be asleep. Until he got home, Arvan went straight into the room to lay Raka on the bed.
" Why did you come in here...?" asked Arvan flat.
" I sleep here every day, why can't I come in...?" sahut Erina's.
" Whatever, I'll be back to Indonesia on a flight tonight..."
" Arvan's brother didn't stay the night...?"
" For what? Saw you making out with that guy...?"
" What does sister mean...?"
" I'm not a fool you can lie to...!"
Arvan got out of the room and took the car in the garage and left the house upset.
" Kat Arvan why the hell? Why are you getting angry...?" mumbling Erina.
Erina was confused by Arvan's cold and indifferent attitude towards her. The feeling he did nothing today.
Dizzied thinking of Arvan, Erina slept beside Raka to unwind all day sitting in the plane.

In the evening, everyone gathered at the dinner table for dinner together. Mother forced Arvan to stay even if only one day because they rarely met. Arvan only visits a few times a year.
" Raka, you have to eat a lot. Just a month in Indonesia your cheeks are not visible anymore." said Ms. Sarah.
" Yes, Grandma... There is no cuisine as delicious as grandmother's cuisine." said Raka smiled.
" Later after eating, you two come with Dad to the study. There's something I want to talk to you both about." Regan's dad looked at Arvan and Erina alternately.
" Yes, father." replied Arvan and Erina together.
" Sit down, I want to talk to you...!" said Father.
Erina sat beside Arvan facing their father. Erina was afraid that dad would set her up again with his friend's son.
" What's up, Dad...?" ask Arvan.
" You've really recovered...?"
" Already, Dad... Arvan is well..."
" Thankfully. There's something else I want to tell you..."
" What's it about, Dad...?"
" Your marriage..."
" Married? Arvan hasn't thought about it yet, Dad..."
" You must get married immediately so that Raka has complete parents..."
" Arvan is up to Erina, Dad. Maybe he has another candidate he loves..."
" Sister, what does that mean...?" peekik Erina did not accept.
" Who knows you've loved someone in silence..."
Erina started to understand Arvan's anger today. Maybe her relationship with Samuel on the plane made Arvan jealous.
" Father, Rissa will marry Arvan's sister as soon as possible. If necessary tomorrow morning." said Erina firmly.
" Are you sure...?" ask Arvan.
" Do I look like I'm kidding...?!"
" Well, tomorrow morning William will take care of the necessary files. Now you're resting already at night. I'm also tired of the office work..."
" I'm sorry, Dad... Rissa took too long to leave the office job." said Erina.
" It's okay, you need a break too right, five years you've been struggling to raise the company of the father." said Regan's father.
After talking, they disperse to rest in their own rooms.
Arvan takes Raka in his carrier into the room followed by Erina. Half an hour later, Raka had already fallen asleep in Arvan's arms. As for Erina, she was playing her phone. Maybe you are chatting with someone.
Erina did not realize the moment Arvan was already standing before her and instantly snatched the phone in her hand.
" Boy brother Arvan! Why did you take my phone...?" peekkik Erina's.
" Why are you angry? Am I interrupting your fun...?" sahut Arvan flat.
" Brother Arvan why angry - angry anyway from yesterday...?"
" That's because you're insensitive to my feelings...!"
" See how...?"
" Think of it yourself...!"
Arvan walked towards the balcony looking at the courtyard of the house below. She herself did not understand why her heart was so disturbed just because Erina replied to a message with someone.
" Kak_.." call Erina.
" Sleep! Don't mind me...!" sahut Arvan is upset.
" Are you jealous...?"
" What do you think...?!"
" Sorry..."
" You sure we're getting married tomorrow...?" Arvan clasped Erina's hand tightly.
" Does sister mind...?"
" No, I just don't want you to push yourself..."
" Did brother Arvan doubt me...?"
" How could I not doubt you, you hugged another man in front of my eyes and sat with him for dozens of hours. You think I'm a statue that can't feel jealous...!" grumbler Arvan.
" I'm sorry, I'm just too happy to meet a friend who hasn't seen each other in five years. He's been my best friend since we were Junior High. He was the only friend close to me. He knows what my life is like at home. He's always there every time I need him..."
" Cihh...! You even praised him in front of me...!"
" It's not like that, brother. He is nothing more than a friend..."
" Maybe you think it's like that, but do you know how she feels about you...? I could tell she liked you just by the look in her eyes..."
Erina was speechless to hear Arvan's increasingly stirring emotions. Instead of being afraid, Erina even intended to tease her lover.
" Have you finished your anger...?"
Erina brought her face closer to the cold man in front of her. Scrape the distance until their lips are fused together. Arvan who was still upset tried to refuse, but Erina did not want to let go.
" Dear, what are you doing...?" Arvan sighed softly.
Arvan felt Erina's hand feel her back gently. Erina eroded her embarrassment by aggressively touching the chest of the field of the man who was now holding her tightly.
" Did you like it, honey...?" lirih Erina's.
" Don't tease me when you can't give it to me, honey." - Arvan.
" I'll give it to you if you want..."
